Glendale, WI — October 2026 — For years, Ryan Companies and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin have demonstrated a shared commitment to strengthening the communities they serve. Through their ongoing involvement with Revitalize, the organizations have turned that commitment into meaningful action, helping homeowners address critical repairs and safety concerns while creating safer, healthier places to live.

This year, employees and volunteers from Ryan Companies and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin are once again joining Revitalize through The Revitalize Project, a signature initiative that brings corporate partners and their teams together to complete free critical home repairs for local homeowners.

The Revitalize Project provides companies with a hands-on opportunity to make a direct and lasting difference. Volunteers work alongside Revitalize staff and homeowners to address critical safety and accessibility needs that may otherwise be out of reach for homeowners with limited financial resources.

“Working on a Revitalize project truly gives you a direct look into who you’re helping and what impact you’re making on their life. It’s a great opportunity to help those in need and brighten the community around them, too,” said Megan Kiefer, Ryan Companies volunteer.

For Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin volunteers, the opportunity has become an annual tradition and a meaningful way to connect their community-focused mission with hands-on service.

“I look forward to this event every year. It feels great to give back to our community and help somebody out. We love that we get to meet the homeowner and work with them to keep them safe and comfortable in their home,” said Annette Roehl, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin volunteer.

Revitalize’s work is centered on the belief that everyone deserves a safe and healthy home. The organization provides free critical home repairs and safety modifications for low-income older adults, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities, helping homeowners remain safe, healthy, and independent in the homes they love.

“Partnerships like these are at the heart of what makes Revitalize’s work possible,” said Melanie Roach, CEO of Revitalize. “When companies choose to invest not only their financial resources but also the time, talent, and energy of their employees, the impact reaches far beyond a single day of volunteering. Their teams are helping make homes safer, helping homeowners maintain their independence, and strengthening the neighborhoods we all call home. We are incredibly grateful to Ryan Companies and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin for continuing to show up for our community and for making our mission a shared commitment.”

The Revitalize Project was created to provide corporate partners with a meaningful, turnkey volunteer experience while expanding Revitalize’s ability to serve homeowners in need. Companies can customize their engagement around the communities, homeowners, and causes that matter most to their teams.

For Ryan Companies and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, continued participation reflects a shared understanding that community health and well-being extend beyond the walls of a workplace or healthcare facility. A safe home is foundational to health, independence, and quality of life—and every repaired home contributes to a stronger community.

Revitalize is grateful for the continued partnership of Ryan Companies and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and for the volunteers who choose to spend their time making a tangible difference, one home at a time.
